I assume that I understand your point and probably even agree with the sentiment, however the content itself appears to be saying, "Don't sign contracts", or, "Don't work for other people." Granted, that's from a mostly USA-based perspective.

I've agreed to some terms because I didn't actually care whether they were enforced, because I was pretty confident the company couldn't or at least wouldn't do anything about it, or because my life circumstances didn't supply the luxury of choice.

Understanding the potential consequences and "why those may be bad" is useful, and prodding companies/governments to move away from that stuff is awesome, but "don't do that" isn't necessarily an option in many (most) contexts.
